Client & Operations Coordinator

Ikaati works with leading hotels, resorts, spas, and restaurants to create distinctive tea experiences.

We are looking for a thoughtful, personable, and highly organized individual to join our team. This is a hands-on role that combines client relationships, creative projects, and day-to-day business operations.

You might spend part of the day speaking with a hotel about their tea program, developing ideas for a new client presentation, and then making sure orders, inventory, and invoicing are handled accurately.

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys variety, learns quickly, takes pride in their work, and wants the opportunity to grow.

Build strong relationships with our clients through thoughtful, responsive communication by email, phone, and in person.

Understand client needs, answer questions, resolve issues, and make sure each interaction reflects the level of service expected by the hotels, resorts, spas, and restaurants we work with.

Contribute ideas for tea programs, presentations, menus, and service concepts for our hospitality clients.

Work with the team to develop ideas and turn them into thoughtful, memorable experiences for each property.

Manage client orders from receipt through packing, shipping, invoicing, and delivery.

Ensure every order is accurate, well presented, and fulfilled on time.

Maintain accurate inventory records, organize stock, conduct routine counts, and monitor product availability.

Anticipate replenishment needs, coordinate approved purchases with suppliers, and track incoming tea, packaging, and supplies.

Prepare and send client invoices, monitor outstanding balances, and follow up on overdue accounts professionally and promptly.

Help keep daily operations organized, accurate, and reliable.

Identify potential problems before they become larger issues, communicate clearly, and look for practical ways to improve how we work.

We are looking for someone who is thoughtful, curious, conscientious, and genuinely cares about the quality of their work
